Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen) is a beloved teacher and member of his community – until he is falsely accused of molesting a child. As word of his alleged misdeed spreads, so does local hysteria, until it reaches a fever pitch in this chilling look at the dark side of small town life. Mikkelsen gives the performance of his life, and director Thomas Vinterberg expertly balances empathy and brutal indictment in his look at what fear and ignorance will do to a community. In Danish, English and Polish with English subtitles.
